My visit at Port Richmond High school was very pleasurable. Being a private school student my whole life, walking into public school and getting to know what it has to offer was very knowledgable. I was in shock when I saw the culinary class they offered because my school never had such a class. I assumed the students just learned easy food dishes inside a regular class room but I was wrong. The culinary room had stoves and many utensils for the students to use. I was also intrigued when I saw the garden the culinary program and Wagner nursing program had started because it allows the students to grow their own food and use it in their cooking class.<\/p>\n
Before walking into the class room I was some what nervous because I didn’t know what I would talk about with my mentee. I knew I was in their positions just 2\/3 years ago which allowed me to feel connected to them in a way. But once I assigned myself to a group I was able to jump right into talking. I enjoyed all of the students because they were very welcoming and opened to meeting up during the week..<\/p>\n
I think this partnership with Port Richmond High school is a great thing because we are able to help these high school students get an idea of what college life is about and assist them in finding a career path they are interested in. I also like the idea of being there for them during a time when the college process very difficult and they are able to ask us questions in order to help them. I am really looking forward in meeting up with my men-tee and being involved in this partnership.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
